Footnotes

  1. 20 The Hebrew text includes the words “to them,” but they have been excluded from the translation for stylistic reasons.
  2. 21 Heb “I will send a hand on you.”
  3. 22 This statement contains a great deal of restrained humor. The author clearly takes pleasure in the effectiveness of the measures that he had enacted.
